What do you do when you believe that you can do great things but something that you have no control over is holding you back? You believe that you are good at what you do and are meant for great things but you have to do your job even though it doesn't do justice to your capabilities. How do you cope with that? Seeing your future as an underachiever pains you. What do you do?
Problem Solve. Swallow your pride and do what needs to be done. "Being Great" is not the ego trip you think it is. You get there by doing hard things for a long time while people act like you are crazy, stupid, etc. It isn't all about your ego. Set your ego aside.
If you really believe you can "do great things" than start doing 'great things." But, you know, I think you and I maybe interpret that phrase differently. If you are actually awesome, that will eventually shine through. But it won't be a picnic. You don't get the valor without doing the hard work first.
So, even while you work a regular job, you can make plans for another startup and work on pursuing financial freedom. Paying the bills now, even though it isn't doing something sexy or trendy or ego-enhancing, is part of pursuing financial freedom.
